Appeal No. 1995-3499 Application No. 07/757,342 accorded the benefit of the foreign filing dates. Clarification of this issue appears to be critical in view of the teachings of PCT application WO 90/13643, of record in the file. See Paper No. 15. Attention is directed to p. 14 of the PCT which discusses the conservation of the structure and sequence between various mammalian LH/CG receptors and how the cDNA sequence of the rat LH/CG receptor (shown in Figure 6), can be used to isolate the human LH/GC receptor. The examiner should consider the relevance of these teachings. REVERSED William F. Smith ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT Teddy S.
